Wednesday Club of Suisun History
El corazón de Suisun
Fundado en 1911
El Wednesday Club of Suisun fue fundado en 1911 como un refugio para que las mujeres de la comunidad se reunieran, compartieran historias y celebraran el espíritu único de nuestra ciudad. Lo que comenzó como una modesta reunión social se ha convertido en una piedra angular del patrimonio local, proporcionando un espacio donde la tradición se encuentra con la elegancia moderna.
Durante más de un siglo, hemos sido testigos de la evolución de Suisun. Desde los animados eventos sociales de principios del siglo XX hasta las vibrantes reuniones comunitarias de hoy, nuestro club sigue siendo un testimonio de los valores perdurables de hospitalidad y conexión. Somos más que un lugar de eventos; somos un archivo vivo de nuestra historia compartida.
1911
Founding Year
On September 11, 1911, sixteen women got together to create an organization that would help advance women’s rights, explore literary and philosophical issues and help their community.
November 11, 1911 was their first meeting, and by November 15, 1911, 106 women had signed the charter that created the Wednesday Club of Suisun.
1920s
Clubhouse Opening
In 1922, a lot in Suisun was deeded to the club for a new building. Construction began and the building was finished in 1926, and the ladies moved to their new home, where they remain today.
1950s
National Register
The goals of the club became more focused on fundraising and volunteerism with continuing efforts toward cultural and educational programs. The women raised and donated money to the building of the Inter-community Hospital, which today is North Bay Medical Center, invited speakers on many social issues and contributed to the Polio Fund.
